The mayor is proposing that the city not use $1 billion of resources from the retiree health benefits trust fund as previously proposed. Mr. de Blasio is also recommending the city add $300 million to the general reserve fund next fiscal year and in succeeding years to compensate for uncertainty in state and federal funding.

“Our budget will be a progressive budget — one that will put us on the road to giving hardworking New Yorkers a fair shot,” Mr. de Blasio said in a news release. “There’s nothing mutually exclusive about being both fiscally responsible and economically progressive.”
